Reports now coming in that it was their son, Nick. Tragic

Imagine a government holding corrupt officials accountable

Here’s the thing: This is total bullshit.

Chartering organizations like churches have the option to create a boys troop, a girl’s troop, or two separate. Completely at their discretion. If they want a boys only space they can have one. This is just macho posturing that is going to have a major effect on turning a lot of youth even more against this administration

8 years, so literally the last time the big orange was in charge. We learn nothing

This approach worked great for Biden, let’s see how well it works for the Orange

Definitely not good. Lots of tax breaks for the wealthy and “parental rights” as a smokescreen to hurt trans kids all passing. Goddammit.

Soon to be rebranded as Paramaga, to cater to “the middle”

Spells and chanting…

I hear this a lot, and part of me understands the sentiment. But it’s important to keep in mind that these are state level politicians, not national. Representing their districts is a part time job. Most of them have jobs like attorney, doctor, business owner employing other people, etc. To stay absent would mean not only leaving these responsibilities, but it’s also leaving their spouses and kids. On top of that the state government started imposing $500/day fines. Then they sued and froze the accounts of Beto O’Rourke’s fundraiser to help them meet their expenses (that was just overturned by a judge this afternoon).

When it became clear that other states were willing to redraw their maps to cancel out Texas’s naked power grab, it changed the calculus. They achieved the objective of drawing attention to the issue and they got other states to commit to action so that even if Texas redraws the map, it won’t matter on a national level. They’ve already paid significant personal cost. How much should they be expected to pay? Should their families/clients/patients/employees also suffer?

I don’t know that there’s a right answer. Maybe this is the sort of tough call that defines real rebellions from performative ones. I do think that it’s easy to criticize from a distance because for most of us the principles and ideas are abstract. But for them the costs are already being felt in concrete ways.

I read elsewhere that they never sold it. I read the article but it seems to contradict itself. It says Costco “stopped selling” it, but it also quotes Costco as saying “Our position at this time not to sell mifepristone, which has not changed, is based on the lack of demand from our members and other patients, who we understand generally have the drug dispensed by their medical providers,” (emphasis mine).

So either Reuters is wrong when it says they stopped selling, or Costco is lying when it says it’s position never changed

No that’s a faun. A fraud is a garment worn by a priest.

Look at that, he gets cast in a major movie and suddenly he’s rethinking Trump support

Obvious lie as Trump uses tanning beds and makeup

Russophobia! /s

When will liberals learn that fascists literally don’t care when you point out their hypocrisy? They revel in it

Comrade, there’s propaganda 😠…and propaganda! 😁

The “pro-life” party

Steve Hou of Bloomberg LP, found the same phone on Amazon. Trump is selling his phone for $499, but it can be purchased on Amazon for $169. It can also be purchased in gold

Everything is a fucking grift

Talk-O Mobile, perhaps?

I can’t speak for every group, but from reading about the incident at the Salt Lake City protest it was an armed guard that shot the would-be shooter and unfortunately killed the bystander
